Message from the Chairman Dear Shareholders, It gives me immense pleasure to write to you and welcome you to be a part of the larger family – the Murugappa Group. The last one year has been an exciting time for me personally, commencing with the conclusion of the agreement to purchase 44.12% of the shares of your Company to being involved in shaping its direction and future. At the outset, I would like to record my appreciation of Mr. P Subramanian for creating, growing and guiding this Company over the last four decades and being instrumental for the Company being acknowledged as one of the best in the industry. I also wish to express my gratitude to the members who served on the Board of Directors of Shanthi Gears Ltd for their guidance and counsel over the years. Since the acquisition, building customer relationships and improving operational efficiencies have been the key focus of the new team. This helped us post a turnover of ` 146 crores and a Profit before Tax of ` 22 crores in FY2012-2013. The year was marked by a significant reduction in demand due to the depressed business conditions prevailing in the industry. The investment climate was also not conducive leading to delays in execution of large projects thereby impacting off-take. As we embark on a new path leveraging brand “Shanthi”, adopting and integrating best practices, augmenting our product range and improving our service we hope to enhance the value proposition to all our stakeholders. Towards this, Shanthi’s main focus will be in the National market and key Industry segments like Steel, Cement, Mining, Construction and Metro Rail. Shanthi’s strength lies in its engineering and design capabilities, a large skill pool, state-of-the-art manufacturing infrastructure and the ability to innovate and re-engineer to provide solutions to our customers. The Company intends to leverage these to serve the standard and customised gearbox product segments. Needless to mention, people make the difference and the team at Shanthi Gears, led by Dr. Sreeram Srinivasan, through its commitment and diligence is making this possible. I thank all our employees and stakeholders for their contribution and support and remain confident of their continued passion, enthusiasm and co-operation as we progress into the future. I also thank my colleagues on the Board for their valuable contribution and guidance to take Shanthi to new heights of achievement. Finally, my grateful thanks to you, the shareholders, for your continued support and confidence in the Company. Sincerely, MM Murugappan 10 Years Financials ` Crores OPERATING RESULTS 2012-13 2011-12 2010-11 2009-10 2008-09 2007-08 2006-07 2005-06 2004-05 2003-04 Sales (Including excise duty) 160.94 186.67 173.46 129.07 276.90 274.73 227.97 184.26 138.07 97.54 Profit before Depreciation, 50.93 Interest & Tax (PBDIT) Profit before Interest & Tax (PBIT) 22.36 69.32 71.48 53.14 103.20 94.61 74.16 58.77 41.62 28.00 42.10 44.64 26.21 77.43 72.15 55.93 46.06 32.04 19.69 Profit before Tax (PBT) 22.07 41.60 43.76 24.33 68.81 67.49 51.15 43.06 30.66 19.04 Profit after Tax (PAT) 15.47 28.13 27.86 16.18 44.06 44.16 33.59 28.06 19.12 13.25 Earnings Per Share in (`) 1.89 3.44 3.41 1.98 5.39 5.40 4.44 3.56 2.45 1.71 Dividend Per Share (`) 0.60 1.00 1.00 0.80 1.20 1.20 1.00 1.00 0.50 0.75 31.53 30.33 28.05 25.80 24.75 20.77 16.28 11.90 8.98 14.19 0.29 0.62 8.76 3.81 11.56 6.37 6.23 4.26 2.43 1.81 8.17 8.17 8.17 8.17 8.17 8.08 7.88 7.80 3.90 Reserves & Surplus 249.41 239.67 221.04 202.68 194.12 161.53 123.45 85.90 62.25 51.48 Net Worth 257.58 247.84 229.21 210.85 202.29 169.70 131.53 93.79 70.05 55.38 54.95 45.24 6.45 5.52 Book Value Per Share (`) Interest SOURCES AND APPLICATION OF FUNDS SOURCES OF FUNDS Share Capital 8.17 Debt 0.00 3.96 9.75 25.63 89.27 92.79 118.68 120.46 Deferred Tax Liability (Net) 6.88 10.73 14.26 17.49 20.09 19.06 Total 16.58 9.84 264.46 262.53 253.22 253.97 311.64 281.55 266.78 224.09 131.45 106.14 APPLICATION OF FUNDS Gross Fixed Assets 361.09 360.21 353.46 344.13 338.60 299.19 265.20 191.18 142.05 116.45 Accumulated Depreciation 245.34 222.00 195.54 169.20 142.45 118.04 77.95 65.74 57.56 Net Fixed Assets 115.75 138.21 157.91 174.92 196.15 181.15 169.38 113.23 76.31 58.89 Capital Work-in-Progress Short Term Investments & Deposits Net Working Capital Total 95.81 3.62 5.59 7.54 5.17 7.07 16.16 13.19 8.65 3.86 0.00 90.60 55.02 46.00 27.50 47.50 15.84 18.13 47.51 7.50 3.90 54.49 63.71 41.77 46.38 60.92 68.40 66.07 54.71 43.78 43.34 264.46 262.53 253.22 253.97 311.64 281.55 266.78 224.09 131.45 106.14 RATIOS PBDIT To Sales (%) 31.65 PBIT To Sales (%) PBT To Sales (%) PAT To Sales (%) Interest Cover (times) ROCE (%) # 37.14 41.21 41.17 37.27 34.44 32.53 31.90 30.14 28.71 13.89 22.55 25.73 20.31 27.96 13.71 22.28 25.23 18.85 24.85 26.26 24.53 25.00 23.21 20.19 24.57 22.44 23.37 22.21 19.52 9.61 15.07 16.06 12.54 15.91 16.07 14.73 15.23 13.85 13.58 175.62 111.81 8.16 13.95 8.93 14.85 11.90 13.80 17.13 15.47 12.86 20.29 21.54 11.57 29.32 27.15 22.49 26.08 25.85 19.26 Return on Networth (%) 6.01 11.35 12.16 7.67 21.78 26.02 25.54 29.92 27.30 23.93 Total Debt Equity Ratio 0.00 0.02 0.04 0.12 0.43 0.48 0.60 1.07 0.58 0.62 Long Term Debt Equity Ratio 0.00 0.00 0.02 0.05 0.08 0.13 0.18 0.30 0.02 0.06 Sales/Net Fixed Assets (times) 1.39 1.35 1.10 0.74 1.41 1.52 1.35 1.63 1.81 1.66 Net Working Capital Turnover (times) 2.95 2.93 4.15 2.78 4.55 4.02 3.45 3.37 3.15 2.25 # Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) is Profit before Interest and Tax divided by the Capital Employed, excluding Short Term Investments, as at the end of the year.

While the US economy showed signs of recovery in the early part of the year, there were mixed signals as the year progressed. Europe is likely to take some more time to return to normalcy. The Euro, as a common currency of Europe seems to be safe for now. Growth in some key economies such as China has slowed. However, recent developments in Japan with the new government appear to be positive. The Indian economy too witnessed a year of gradual decline with the last quarter decline being particularly severe. Poor monsoons, high inflation leading to high interest rates, slowdown in infrastructure projects and overall drop in consumer confidence and supply side constraints led to the pace of growth coming down. Export of products from India dipped and combined with the high import of oil and gold the current account deficit became a matter of concern leading to a depreciating currency. Review of business Industry scenario Your Company is in the business of design, manufacture, supply and servicing of gears and gear boxes. The market size for these products is estimated to be around ` 3000 cr. The industry is growing at a rate of about 6% per annum and is expected to touch about ` 4000 cr. in the next five years. Within the industry, there are certain segments growing at a faster rate while a few are flat or declining. In the National Market, Steel, Cement, Sugar, Mining, Paper, Marine make up the conventional part of this Industry while off-highway (Construction), Windmill and Metro Rail constitute the relatively newer segments. The Metro and Off-highway segments are expected to grow at almost twice the average of the industry growth while the Windmill segment is not expected to register any growth at all in the next few years. There are five major players and a few regional players in the National market while a significant portion of gearboxes for critical applications are met through imports. Exports presents an opportunity for your Company but is limited at present due to the global economic scenario. The National gearbox industry also constitutes two major segments, viz., standard and non-standard. Standard gearboxes constitute about 35% of the market and growing approximately at over 10% CAGR while the non-standard (customised) gear boxes constitute over 33% and growing below the Industry average. The remainder of the industry is made up of loose gears and are growing at the Industry level. The industry is witnessing a greater drive towards standardization thanks to the entry of multi-national players. Industrial growth in general and infrastructure growth in particular present the opportunity for growth of the gears and gearbox industry. Thus, import substitution by local players and overall economic growth would be the drivers for growth in the gear and gearbox industry. The former would however entail acquisition or development of technology from established players in the field. Skilled resources and state of the art facilities are critical success factors in this industry. 3 Review of performance Your Company has three focus areas: supply of internals and spares (loose gears), customised non-standard gearboxes and servicing of any make of gearbox. The Company reported a revenue of ` 146 Cr. in the year under review against ` 172 Cr. in the previous year. The decline was largely due to the lower demand for gearboxes, predominantly in the infrastructure related industries, significantly lower exports, and lower servicing revenue. The Profit before Tax for the year was also lower at ` 22.07 cr. against ` 41.60 cr. due to the lower turnover, higher input costs mainly on power which could not be recovered from customers and intense competition in the various segments. During the year there were also one-time charges to the Profit & Loss Account due to review and changes of certain accounting policies. This was consequent to the change in the management. The Company has embarked on a program of improving its operational efficiencies and also improving its cost base. These factors helped the Company partly mitigate the impact of the increased costs on the bottom line. There was also a strong focus on reduction of resources employed in the business both on working capital and on fixed assets. This exercise helped in achieving a significant reduction in inventory holding. The Company generated cash of ` 60 Cr. from operations and remains debt free. Investments in essential capital expenditure towards enhanced productivity are ongoing. The Company is focusing on developing a new range of products in the standard segment. These products are expected to provide greater value to customers while enhancing our competitiveness in this segment. Efforts are also on to enhance the range of planetary gear boxes. These gear boxes have made a positive impact on customers and the demand for such products is set to increase. The Company remains confident that the future is positive given the confidence of its customers on the Company’s products and service and the fact that the government is seized of the need to stimulate growth. Prospects of a better monsoon, lower inflation and reduction in interest rates could spur economic growth during the current financial year. Internal Control The Company has an Internal Audit system commensurate with its size and operations. The internal audit is carried out by a firm of chartered accountants covering all aspects of the business. The internal audit team periodically evaluates the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls. The Audit committee reviews the plan for Internal Audit, significant internal audit observations and functioning of the internal audit department on a periodical basis.

Tube Investments of India Ltd (TII) acquired his entire stake and followed it up with an Open Offer in line with the regulations and acquired another 26% from the general public.

The year 2012-13 was challenging in many respects. The economic growth levels witnessed by the country in the previous years declined and the business sentiment remained largely negative. Poor monsoons, high interest rates, low growth, slowdown in infrastructure projects and overall drop in consumer confidence impacted the economy as a whole and consequently the sales of the Company as well. The Profit Before Tax was at ` 22.07 cr. against ` 41.60 cr. in the previous year. The decline in profit was due to the lower turnover, impact of input cost increases and higher fixed costs. The Company is focusing on enhancing customer base, improving its operational efficiencies and cost management to mitigate the effect of these factors. The benefit of these initiatives is expected to accrue in the current year.

Significant Accounting Policies 1.1. Accounting Convention The financial statements of the Company are prepared under the historical cost convention, on an accrual basis, in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian GAAP) to comply with the Accounting Standards notified by the Government of India / issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), as applicable, and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those followed in the previous year. 1.2. Presentation and disclosure of financial statements From the year ended 31st March, 2012 the revised Schedule VI notified under the Companies Act 1956, has become applicable to the Company, for preparation and presentation of its financial statements. The presentation and disclosures made in the financial statements are in accordance with the requirements of the revised Schedule VI. An asset has been classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria; a) It is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale or consumption in, the Company’s normal operating cycle; b) It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded; c) It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting date; or d) It is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. A liability has been classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria; a) It is expected to be settled in the Company’s normal operating cycle; b) It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded; c) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting date; or d) The company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlements of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counter-party, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification. All other assets and liabilities have been classified as non-current. 1.3. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the date of the financial statements and the reported income and expenses like provision for employee benefits, provision for doubtful trade receivables / advances / contingencies, provision for warranties, allowance for slow/non-moving inventories, useful life of fixed assets, provision for taxation, etc., during the reporting year. The Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results may vary from these estimates. 30 Notes to Financial Statements 1.4. Tangible Fixed Assets Fixed Assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost includes related taxes, duties, freight, insurance, etc. attributable to the acquisition and installation of the fixed assets but excludes duties and taxes that are recoverable from tax authorities. Borrowing costs are capitalised as part of qualifying fixed assets. Exchange differences arising on restatement / settlement of long term foreign currency borrowings relating to acquisition of depreciable fixed assets are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Machinery spares which can be used only in connection with an item of fixed asset and whose use is expected to be irregular are capitalised and depreciated over the useful life of the principal item of the relevant assets. Subsequent expenditure relating to fixed assets is capitalised only if such expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from such asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. Fixed assets retired from active use and held for sale are stated at the lower of their net book value and net realisable value and are disclosed separately in the Balance Sheet. Capital Work-in-Progress: Projects under which assets are not ready for their intended use and other capital work-in-progress are carried at cost, comprising direct cost and attributable interest. 1.5. Impairment of Assets The carrying values of assets/cash generating units are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment of the carrying amount of the Company’s assets. If any indication exists, an asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication that an impairment loss recognised for an asset in earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased such reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. 1.6. Investments a) Investments, which are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as Current Investments. All other investments are classified as Non-Current investments. b) Non-Current investments are carried at cost. Diminution in the value of such investments, other than temporary, is provided for. c) Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value. 1.7. Inventories a) Raw materials, stores & spare parts and traded goods are valued at lower of weighted average cost (net of allowances) and estimated net realisable value. Cost includes freight, taxes and duties and is net of credit under VAT and CENVAT scheme, where applicable. 31 Notes to Financial Statements 1.8. 1.9. b) Work-in-process and finished goods are valued at lower of weighted average cost (net of allowances) and estimated net realisable value. Cost includes all direct costs and appropriate proportion of overheads to bring the goods to the present location and condition. c) Due allowance is made for slow/non-moving items, based on Management estimates. Revenue and Other Income a) Sales are recognised on shipment or on unconditional appropriation of goods and comprise amounts invoiced for the goods, including excise duty, but excluding Sales Tax/Value Added Tax. b) Service revenues are recognised when services are rendered. c) Dividend income is accounted for when the right to receive it is established as on the date of Balance Sheet. d) Interest Income is recognised on time proportion basis. Government Grants, Subsidies and Export Incentives Government grants and subsidies are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them and the grants/subsidy will be received. When the grant or subsidy from the Government relates to revenue, it is recognised as income on a systematic basis in the statement of profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the related costs, which they are intended to compensate. When the grant or subsidy from the Government is in the nature of promoters’ contribution, where no repayment is ordinarily expected in respect thereof, it is credited to Capital Reserve and treated as a part of the Shareholders’ funds on receipt basis. Export benefits are accounted for in the year of exports based on eligibility and when there is no uncertainty in receiving the same. 1.10. Employee Benefits I. Defined Contribution Plan a. Provident Fund Contributions are made to the Regional Provident Fund in accordance with the fund rules. The interest rate payable to the beneficiaries every year is being notified by the Government. II. Defined Benefit Plan Gratuity The Company makes annual contribution to a Gratuity Fund administered by trustees and managed by LIC. The Company accounts its liability for future gratuity benefits based on actuarial valuation, as at the Balance Sheet date, determined every year using the Projected Unit Credit method. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. 32 Notes to Financial Statements III. Short Term Employee Benefits Short term employee benefits includes short term compensated absences which is recognized based on the eligible leave at credit on the Balance Sheet date, and the estimated cost is based on the terms of the employment contract. IV. Voluntary Retirement Scheme Compensation to employees under Voluntary Retirement Schemes is expensed in the period in which the liability arises. 1.11. Operating Leases Leases where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased assets are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the revenue account as per the lease terms. 1.12. Foreign Currency Transactions Initial recognition Transactions in foreign currencies entered into by the Company are accounted at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the transaction. Measurement Foreign currency monetary items (other than derivative contracts) of the Company outstanding at the Balance Sheet date are restated at year end exchange rates. Non-monetary items are carried at historical cost. Treatment of exchange differences Exchange differences arising on settlement/restatement of short-term foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are recognised as income or expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Accounting of forward contracts The Company enters into forward exchange contracts and other instruments that are in substance a forward exchange contract to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations. The premium or discount arising at the inception of a forward exchange contract (other than for a firm commitment or a highly probable forecast transaction) or similar instrument is amortised as expense or income over the life of the contract. Exchange differences on such a contract are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which the exchange rates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation of such a contract is recognised as income or expense for the year. 33 Notes to Financial Statements 1.13. Depreciation and Amortisation st Till the year ended 31 March, 2012 the Company followed a policy of providing for Depreciation as follows: With respect to Plant & Machinery purchased and commissioned for the year ended 30/06/1978 to 30/11/1987 and on Buildings for the period ended 30/11/1986 and for the year ended 30/11/1987 on equated number of years. With respect to Plant & Machinery and Buildings added during the accounting period ended 31/03/1989 and onwards on the Straight Line Method as per the rates prescribed under Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. With respect to all other assets based on the Written Down Value method at rates prescribed under Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. st The Company has decided to change the method of providing for Depreciation, effective 1 April, 2012, in accordance with the Straight Line Method as per the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 except in respect of the following categories of assets, where depreciation is provided based on useful life of the assets assessed as under: Description of Assets Useful life and Basis of depreciation/amortisation Furniture and fixtures Motor cars Office Equipment (including Data Processing Equipment) Individual fixed assets whose actual cost does not exceed ` 5000/Computer Software 5 Years 4 Years 3 Years Fully depreciated in the year of acquisition 3 years Depreciation is provided pro-rata from the day of Capitalisation. The Company also has a system of providing additional depreciation, where, in the opinion of the Management, the recovery of the fixed asset is likely to be affected by the variation in demand and/or its condition/usability. 1.14. Taxes on Income Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year and is determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences; being the differences between taxable income and accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets in respect of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses are recognised only if there is virtual certainty that there will be sufficient future taxable income available to realise such assets. Other deferred tax assets are recognised if there is reasonable certainty that there will be sufficient future taxable income available to realise such assets. 34 Notes to Financial Statements 1.15. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and when a reliable estimate of the amount of obligation can be made. Contingent liability is disclosed for (i) Possible obligation which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Company or (ii) Present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made. Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realised. 2.
